Have you ever been in a place where you wanted to access the Internet on your laptop, but there was no Wireless network? Still your iPhone has 3G, but you hate viewing webpages in that tiny screen? Then this tutorial is for you. Let me explain. Tethering is the art of using a mobile device to “supply” internet access to a non-mobile device such as a laptop.

This is extremely easy on the iPhone and was made possible by the 3proxy team. Before we begin, let me just give an idea of the what you will need:

- A laptop that can create wireless ad-hoc networks (in this case we shall use a MacBookPro);

- An iPhone 3G (jailbroken);

- Mobile Terminal (on the iPhone, obtainable through Cydia);

- 3proxy (on the iPhone, obtainable through Cydia);

- Firefox (on the laptop);

Right then, shall we begin?

Create an ad-hoc network with your laptop (create network in Airport menu);

Connect the iPhone to that network;

Write down the iPhone’s IP address (believe me you will need it later);

Open Mobile Terminal on the iPhone and type in “socks”. To leave it running in the background but still go back to the home screen, press the home button (but not for too long, or you will terminate it!!);

Open Safari and browse to a given webpage (any will do, but you would be very kind if you were to use H4rdwired).  Note: This step is seriously important. Without it the proxy server connect do its job (primarily because this forces the iPhone to switch back to 3G);

Then, open Firefox on your laptop and hit Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings. In the SOCKS host field enter the iPhone’s IP address and then enter the port number 1080.

Before you can start browsing the Internet there is one little thing you still need to do. In the URL bar enter “about:config”. In the filter enter proxy and then double-click “network.proxy.socks_remote_dns” to make its value “true”, and you’re ready to go!

Happy Tethering

Yes, the U.S. Army now uses iPods as field translators in Iraq! The reason? Because the iPod is cheaper and easier to use compared to other conventional systems.

How many? 260 iPods and iPod nanos! All customized and running a app from Vcom 3D known as Vcommunicator Mobile, armband and speaker for use in the field.

The complete development and equipment cost $800,000, but is said to have reduced the learning time both for the soldiers and the Iraqis it’s meant to reach.

Simplicity, design, power, potential! This is the living definition of technology, Science being useful!

ah well…

A hero. A saviour. But again, mistaken for a criminal. Typical.

Throughout the ages of computing many have ventured in forbidden data and got caught… Many were heroes, many were villains, but still they all deserve respect. It is in respect to them that I shall here quote the Manifesto of Mentor:

“Another one got caught today, it’s all over the papers. “Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal”, “Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering”…
Damn kids. They’re all alike.
But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950’s technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him?
I am a hacker, enter my world…
Mine is a world that begins with school… I’m smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me…
Damn underachiever. They’re all alike.
I’m in junior high or high school. I’ve listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. “No, Ms. Smith, I didn’t show my work. I did it in my head…”
Damn kid. Probably copied it. They’re all alike.
I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it’s because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn’t like me… Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I’m a smart ass.. Or doesn’t like teaching and shouldn’t be here…
Damn kid. All he does is play games. They’re all alike.
And then it happened… a door opened to a world… rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict’s veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought… a board is found. “This is it… this is where I belong…” I know everyone here… even if I’ve never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again… I know you all…
Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They’re all alike…
You bet your ass we’re all alike… we’ve been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak… the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We’ve been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert.
This is our world now… the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn’t run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore… and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge… and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias… and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it’s for our own good, yet we’re the criminals.
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.
I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can’t stop us all… after all, we’re all alike.” - The Mentor in the Phrack e-zine, Volume one, Issue 7, Phile 3 of 10.

Well,… this has happened to me, you know…
